Liverpool identify Robertson’s successor as Tottenham move in

Liverpool may already have a successor lined up for Andy Robertson, who is strongly linked with a surprising switch to Tottenham.

In a story that is still developing, Spurs have reportedly made a serious move to sign the Liverpool veteran, with Robertson apparently eager for a new challenge in North London. Liverpool have reportedly contacted AS Roma about recalling Kostas Tsimikas.

Robertson’s potential exit would create a big gap in Arne Slot’s squad, but Liverpool seem to be preparing to plug it with a familiar option: Tsimikas, currently on loan at Roma.

Journalist Ben Jacobs broke the news exclusively on X, reporting that Liverpool plan to approach the Italian club to end Tsimikas’ loan early.
The report also highlights a potential complication: there is no formal recall clause in the loan deal, meaning Liverpool would need Roma’s cooperation to bring him back.

However, Tsimikas’ desire to return to Anfield and become the first-choice left-back could be a key factor in making the move happen.

Jacobs wrote: “Exclusive: Liverpool set to approach Roma to recall Kostas Tsimikas if Andy Robertson moves to Spurs. Understand Robertson has told Liverpool he is keen on a move to Tottenham. No formal recall clause in Tsimikas’ loan, but sources close to player have made it clear he wants to return to Liverpool.”

Is Andy Robertson’s incredible Liverpool career ending?

If this transfer goes through, it could signal the end of an era at Liverpool.
Since arriving from Hull City, Robertson has become one of the club’s best left-backs in modern history.

A tireless presence on the left flank, he played a crucial role in Liverpool’s Champions League and Premier League victories under Jurgen Klopp.

With his contract expiring at the end of the season, Liverpool would likely prefer to sell him now rather than lose him on a free transfer in the summer.

Milos Kerkez’s arrival last summer has limited Robertson’s playing time, which is why he is reportedly open to leaving.
Seeing Robertson in a Tottenham jersey would be a shocking sight for Liverpool fans.

If he believes his time at Anfield is over, Liverpool’s quick move to recall Tsimikas suggests the club wants to maintain stability and rely on experience instead of rushing into the transfer market for a new left-back.
